Just re-installed WIN 98 on Sony desktop PC and applications like AOL will not see modem which they were able to see before. I think it is a Lucent modem and Device manager identifies it as DSDV56K modem. Window says it is installed properly, but AOL can't see it and trying to talk to it system says " No response" from modem.

Any ideas?

You need to obtain the driver for the modem and run the driver setup program -
If Lucent(Agere) Winmodem -

Win98 does not come with built-in driver support for the modem.

Aloha! Richard.

Actually it is a GVC FCC ID#DK4DF1156HV/A2B and windows 98 does have a generic GVC driver but even after installing this driver, the problem persists. However, I will attempt as you say to download its driver from say "driverguide.com" and see if it works.

GVC makes modems with many different chipsets - there is no such thing as a 'GVC' driver that will work with all GVC modems. Your modem won't work unless you use the correct driver.
Modemsite offers generic drivers for all modems based upon the 'LT Win Modem' chipset -

You are right. Had to get exact driver for this specific chip set from modemguide.com and it finally worked.

Thanks
